Well, beyond the “rules” that some anabolic androgenic steroids are illegal without a doctor’s prescription, that’s true. It’s unlikely that he and other actors have clauses in their contracts specifically disallowing their use.

The really interesting part of the sketches I watched on this show was when Beck Bennett, playing Bob Baffert, said, “Bottom line, I have won seven Kentucky Derbies! Seven! And I have trained tons of thoroughbreds, all clean: American Pharoah, Silver Charm, Mark McGuire, Justify, The Super-Jacked Kangaroo, War Emblem,…

After Spottiswood was fired earlier this year, and Harris-Lawrence installed as full showrunner, there was some hope that the legal series—which saw Simone Missick playing a rookie judge navigating court cases that touched on everything from ICE to Black Lives Matter—might be able to get back on track.

So I just watched the pilot episode, and it is truly terrible. It makes everyone involved—Greg Spottiswood and those writers who fled—look like fucking morons.

Really? I thought Saw II was the best of the series (I haven’t seen Jigsaw), because the twist was actually pretty clever and the mantraps were well-designed.

Unbelievable. Okay, the link function is completely broken. In my comment above, the “according to Merriam-Webster” is supposed to be a link to the Merriam-Webster entry for symbiote.

symbiote (you say “sim-bee-it,” and Venom says “sim-buy-oat”)

Was her Bjork imitation better or worse than Matt Besser’s?

Thank you.

Here, for instance, is Ivanov halfheartedly working through a performance.

That kid’s name? You guessed it: Frank Stallone.

You mean Crews.

I’ll have to check that out, but I suppose what I meant was that there haven’t been any recent ones (Ikarie XB-1 came out in 1963), if you don’t count The Congress, which is very, very loosely based on The Futurological Congress.

Yeah, but The Congress is only based on Lem’s novel in the loosest sense: “I…

This question isn’t really about either versions of Solaris, but I’ve got to ask: why haven’t there been any big-screen adaptations of any of Lem’s other works? It can’t be for lack of source material: Fiasco, His Master’s Voice, Memoirs Found in a Bathtub, The Investigation would all make for good movies in the hands…

By the way: you notice how the quotes are garbled in my post above? That’s because Kinja has decided to shove hyperlinked text, such as “legalized marijuana” and “a post highlighted today on Twitter by ACLU engineer Steve Wozniak” to the front of the quotes.

It doesn’t seem like it:

You know, I would love to hear a real-life trademark lawyer weigh in on this case. Because I’d be really surprised if Justice the band actually has a mark that covers the word justice with the “t” being above the other letters and therefore they would likely win if this ever went to court.

You ever notice how SOROS and MODOK have the same number of letters and the second and fourth letters are O’s?
